This "Bermuda by Clipper" poster from Pan American Airways belongs to the age of the great flying boats. Against a deep blue background, a graceful mermaid-like figure rises among lilies, while a Pan Am flying boat crosses the scene, the kind of aircraft that alighted on the water rather than on a runway. The mythical figure and flowers lend the island a dreamlike, romantic air, suggesting a voyage to somewhere enchanted out in the Atlantic. Pan Am named its aircraft Clippers after the fast sailing ships of old, and in the flying-boat era a Clipper flight to Bermuda was the height of glamorous travel.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
